Borough Hall flags 'Intro 1482' legislation for tenants displaced by demolition or rehab
Summary
Caroline Church told the board that Borough Hall, with council members Hudson and Nurse, introduced Intro 1482 to require HPD and landlords to provide financial assistance to qualifying low‑income tenants displaced by demolition, substantial rehab, change of use or removal of rent restrictions.
During board updates, Caroline Church said the borough president, alongside Council members Hudson and Nurse, introduced Intro 1482, legislation intended to require the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and landlords to provide financial assistance to qualifying low‑income tenants displaced by demolition, substantial rehabilitation, change of use or removal of rental income restrictions.
Church said the concept aligns with the borough’s 2025 comprehensive plan and that implementation details (income thresholds and program rules) would be fleshed out in agency rulemaking and future hearings. Community board members asked whether the bill specifies funding sources and whether it applies to NYCHA; staff replied that funding would include city contributions and landlord payments, and that applicability to NYCHA requires additional review because federal rules can differ.
Board members were invited to follow up with questions; staff said there will be hearings and additional details released as the proposal advances.
